perl 5.8.6

No need to hurry, Gerrit :)

   This arrived yesterday.

Just wanted to know a rough timeframe and what you plan to do with the 
DLL name, so that I can coordinate libwin32 and the Win32::GUI upgrades.
I want to seperate Win32::GUI from libwin32, and I want to contact Rafael.

We have to bite the bullet with the 5.8.5 dll dependency once.
Maybe I'll come up up a simplier upgrade solution, changing the dll's 
binmode: s/cygperl5_8_2.dll/cygperl5_8.dll/g and moving it over.
Put this into the postinstall script to move all old CPAN libs to the 
new site_perl?

Maybe I'll come to the pending Win32::API problem with the callbacks on 
gcc also. A simple hack30-like solution should always be possible. Or a 
fallback to C::Dynalib.
Win32::OLE didn't compile OOTB, but this is easy. Just forgot where I 
put the patch.
And your /usr/include/iodbcunix.h was wrong. Had to patch it to compile 
Win32::ODBC. Will send it later.
